Why only one day a week, you may ask?
I don't want to promise more and then not be able to deliver. A steady update schedule is the heartbeat of keeping a readership, something I found out quickly when doing the Boy Genius comics. Once I stopped doing updates on any regular schedule (and thus left the Spider-Man fans without anything of interest to read) and went to doing outside commissions/personal art, I lost the community I had. Bummer, but that's how the cookie crumbles!
Are you ever going to do any more Boy Genius comics?
I doubt it. I enjoyed drawing them at the time but after a while it was time to move on. I'm glad everyone loved them and continues to favorite/add them to their collections though, you guys are awesome. Now, if I could only get that much interest generated in my own characters and stories...
I don't wanna go to an outside site to read your comic. Post them here!
I know it's like, two extra clicks to go read the comic off this site, but that's not too bad, right? It's my hope that a handful of visitors will click the "like it" so it shows up on their Facebook and hook a few more readers. I'm trying to reach out any way I can! Pleeeaaaase heeeeelp meeeee, haha.
Where's Murphy's Law, damn you!?
Ugh, I knooooow. It's been stopped and started so many times I lost track. The finished script is here, sitting on my desk, but honestly there just aren't enough hours in the day to make promises on when it's going to be completed. I think for a long-form graphic novel like this, it's better to put up a bundle of pages instead of one at a time, don't you think? Like when I get ten done (DONE, done - pencilled, inked, colored) I'll post them and hopefully entertain you for the three minutes it takes to read them.
That's kinda disheartening, isn't it? As you all have experienced, it can take anywhere from a few hours to even a few days to complete a finished work of art, comic or otherwise, and it takes about 15 seconds to read/look it over. I guess that's how it goes for anyone who labors over any form of their craft!
On the list of things to do this year:
Get married in May!
Keep up a buffer of comics ... so I can still update when wedding/honeymoon stuff is happening!
Fix up stuff in our house! (OMG I had no idea painting one room could amount to so much time eaten up - patching holes, spackling, sanding, taping off trim, painting one coat, then a second, etc...)
Fix our weedy, uneven, and generally sad-looking yard!
Build a patio in the backyard! (ie: bring my fiance lemonade and stand with my arms akimbo, making encouraging remarks about the progress of said patio building!)
Attend SPX in Bethesda, MD ... and have a table with some buttons and mini-comics! More about that as it nears - I sent in my application and payment for a table this year, but so far no response and no check cashed. Hmmm.
Herp derp - gotta go color some comics now. Later, ya'll!
